JDS5607 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Well, Sully LOVES pumpkin... I gave him raw pumpkin, and he wasn't CRAZY about it, but I also gave him some of the "guts" and he INHALED IT. SO- I baked the pumkin in the oven for an hour (til it got mushy) And now he can't get enough!!! Anyone have any pumpkin birdie recipies? I would like to make him some kind of cookie or cake with maybe some seed, and other veggies in as a treat for snack time. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 All this talk of pumpkin is making me want to go out and get one to bake for my fids. I will have to check my cookbook for birds that I bought this summer and see if any of the recipes use pumpkin, will get back to you on that.

JDS5607 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks Azzie & Judy!! slmclean- I scooped all the stuff out from the middle, cut it in half and baked it at 350ish for an hour. I scooped the flesh out after it had cooled. When I give it to them raw, I just chop it up. I usually don't give them the skin just because it doesn't seem to be chewed well!

Birdnut Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wow! All this talk about pumpkins is giving me the notion to go out and get a small one for our fids. There are certainly plenty of them available this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
